About this retreat
This retreat pairs vigorous Vinyasa Flow with Zen meditation and inquiry, held at Tassajara, SFZC's mountain monastery. The schedule runs morning yoga and Dharma teaching, then afternoon inquiry sessions and restorative practice — a structured blend of movement and stillness.
San Francisco Zen Center practices in the Soto Zen tradition, which emphasizes zazen (sitting meditation) as the core practice. How the yoga integrates with zazen here, and who teaches the Dharma and inquiry sessions, the center has not yet published. Contact SFZC directly for details on the daily schedule, lodging arrangements, and any experience requirements.
